Construction on the restaurant, which can seat 32 diners inside and another 16 on the patio, began a few months ago at 246 Genesee St. in Oneida.

The Tim Hortons location is the first in Madison County, one of 55 in the Central New York area, and one of 808 locations in the United States, said company spokesperson Brynn Burton. Tim Hortons is based in Ontario, Canada.

The new location has brought about 25 jobs total to the city, which are a mix of full- and part-time positions, Burton said.

The Bakery Cafe offers food and drink options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, ranging from coffees and pastries to soups, fruits and sandwiches.

"We offer things to get people through the day," Burton said.

Wednesday is also Tim Hortons Camp Day, an annual fundraiser that sends economically disadvantaged children to camp, said Burton.

Last year, Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop raised $11 million in the United States and Canada. More than 15,000 kids were able to attend Tim Hortons Children's Camp.

"The mission of Tim Horton Children's Foundation is to help break the cycle of poverty by giving economically disadvantaged children the skills and mindset to aspire for a brighter future," said Dave Newnham, vice president and executive director, Tim Horton Children's Foundation. "We've seen time and time again that once a child attends our camp, they return home with a more positive attitude and greater confidence about their future. Our goal is to see more of that with more children. Camp Day is our single-most important fundraiser to help make that happen."

Burton said that on Camp Day, 100-percent of the proceeds of coffee sales are directed to the fundraising initiative.
